7 Analysis and inventory of FP7 marine-related ed proposals posa 1. PREFACE Seas and oceans cover 70 percent of the Earth s surface yet people usually know more about the moon s surface than the ocean depths. Still, seas and oceans have a huge impact on our daily lives, providing an essential part of our wealth and well-being. They are not only a critical source of food, energy and resources, but also provide the majority of Europe s trade routes. Sea-related industries and services generate about 5% of Europe s gross domestic product. The value of living by the sea, while intangible, is high to many of us. Europe s coastlines are a favoured site for recreation and residence, and almost 50% of the European population live less than 50 km from the coast. Yet overfi shing, pollution from industry and transport, discharge of nutrients, together with the impact of climate change are dramatically affecting the marine environment, putting it at risk of severe damages. Science and technology have a vital role to play in the preservation of the marine environment as well as in realising the great economic potential of our seas and oceans. From the Galway Declaration 1 in 2004 to the Aberdeen Declaration 2 in 2007, the European scientifi c community has provided excellent contributions to the key input of marine-related research for the development of a dynamic and sustainable European maritime policy and European Research Area (ERA). The European Strategy for Marine and Maritime research (COM (2008) 534), 3 adopted in 2008, is an essential pillar of the EU 4 integrated maritime policy. It aims, through a better integration of sectors and research disciplines, to progress towards the preservation of fragile marine environments while sustaining the development of maritime activities. It also represents one of the fi rst attempts to fully establish, within a research domain, the European Research Area. Dissemination of information about marine-related research initiatives funded at EU level is of paramount importance to help develop synergies and cross-fertilisation of knowledge between sectors and disciplines. It will also result in a better acknowledgement and awareness of the benefi ts arising from the different research initiatives and avoid further duplication of efforts. 1 ng/pdf/24-galway-declaration_en.pdf COM (2008) 534: 4 EU: European Union 5

8 In the context of the European Strategy for Marine and Maritime Research, this study is a fi rst attempt to present a quantitative and qualitative analysis as well as an inventory of marinerelated proposals selected under the 7 th Framework Programme for research (FP7). Over the past year, data has been compiled, checked and analysed in order to provide the stakeholders with a thorough and reliable overview of marine-related proposals across four FP7 specifi c programmes: COOPERATION, IDEAS, PEOPLE and CAPACITIES. In presenting this analysis, the Commission responds to the need expressed by the scientifi c community during the consultation on the Green Paper on a future maritime policy for the European Union 5 to ensure regular exchange of information on marine and maritime research addressed in the different specifi c programmes of the 7 th Framework Programme for research. 5 Conclusions of the «Seminar on marine sciences and technologies in FP7» Brussels 16th January 2007: maritimeaffairs/pdf/brochure_ft7.pdf 6

9 Analysis and inventory of FP7 marine-related ed proposals posa 2. RATIONALE OF THE ANALYSIS You want to know more about marine related research within FP7 Why will this study be relevant to you? This analysis seeks to shed light on the variety of marine-related activities funded across the 7 th Framework Programme for research and development (FP7) whether they have a direct link to the marine environment or just bear potential applications for the maritime economy. It proposes a simple statistical analysis of such related projects within the fi rst two years of FP7 in terms of the number of proposals and EU contribution. For the fi rst time, it also gives an inventory of all marine-related research projects. It will allow all interested parties (citizens, researchers, enterprises, NGOs) fi nding relevant information about every theme or type of activity existing within FP7: either on research infrastructures, grants for young researchers or collective projects with the participation of SMEs. It also provides useful background information for researchers and research organisations involved in marine sciences and technologies or in maritime activities as it sheds light on existing initiatives and could help identifying complementarities, new partners and avoid potential duplication of efforts. Finally, the objective is also to encourage researchers and other interested parties looking beyond their traditional fi eld (environment, transport, fi sheries, aquaculture, energy ) in order to embrace more holistic, forward-looking and innovative approaches. Understanding our approach How did we proceed? The analysis relies on individual screening of proposals abstracts and titles within 109 calls ( ) for identifi cation of marine/maritime components within submitted and selected proposals within the four specifi c programmes: COOPERATION, IDEAS, PEOPLE and CAPACITIES. Identifi cation of marine-related proposals is based on screening of individual proposals using a list of simple keywords. Details of the methodology applied for this analysis are provided in the annex. For practical purposes, the term marine-related proposals will be used in this analysis to qualify all proposals when they have a marine (exploitation of the living and non living resources from the seas) or coastal nature (including estuaries) or when they are related to maritime activities (transport, shipbuilding, naval operations, renewable energies, border security ). Proposals with an indirect link to the marine environment or maritime activities (materials, engineering, earth sciences, underwater technologies ) have also been included when they have potential applications for the maritime economy or when they can contribute to the preservation of the marine environment 6. Proposals related to aquaculture activities in a broad sense have been taken on board. It includes freshwater and marine aquaculture, as well as all fi sh species when they are used as part of the food production cycle (including seafood, fi sh nutrition and fi sh as 6 In line with the broad objectives of the new integrated maritime policy COM (2007) 574 fi nal An Integrated Maritime Policy for the European Union : 7

10 feed). Fish used as research model organisms for experimentation purposes have not been considered. The approach adopted in this analysis is purposely very broad and therefore comprises an inherent error margin which is to be acknowledged from the outset. Despite its intrinsic fl aws, this analysis gives for the fi rst time a thorough overview of all activities funded across FP7 which are relevant to interested parties involved in marine sciences and technologies or in maritime activities at large. 8

11 Analysis and inventory of FP7 marine-related ed proposals posa 3. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Snapshot of marine-related research within the 7 th Framework Programme for Research Where do we start? Through its successive Framework Programmes for research, the European Union has constantly increased its support for research activities within the whole fi eld of marine-related activities: ecosystems, sustainable transport and energy, space, biotechnology and food quality and safety, to name some of the most important. Within the 6 th Framework Programme for research and development (FP6), more than 600 million have been awarded to research projects in the maritime sector 7. Similarly to the 6 th Framework Programme for research, there is no dedicated thematic area for marine-related research within FP7. However, marine sciences and technology have been recognised among the priority scientifi c areas which cut across themes 8 in the 7 th Framework Programme. As the oceans ignore physical borders, cover about 70% of the earth s surface and play a signifi cant role in regulating the Earth s climate, to name just a few characteristics, it is not surprising that a great variety of research activities and technologies are relevant to the marine environment or the maritime economy. In fact, marine sciences and technology in a very broad sense are integrated into all themes of the COOPERATION specifi c programme, and especially into: Transport (including Aeronautics), Food, Agriculture, Fisheries and Biotechnology (KBBE); Environment (including Climate Change) and Energy. Beyond this thematic approach, coordination of crosscutting marine-related activities is also taking place in FP7 with the aim of fostering crossfertilisation between themes, disciplines and sectors. 9 In fact, marine-related proposals are to be found in many other sections and specifi c programmes of the 7 th Framework Programme and it is the ambition of this analysis to identify, analyse and increase awareness of 7 For an analysis of marine related projects funded within FP6, please see: Marine related research and the future of the maritime policy, p18-19 & p46-56 : 8 Decision No 1982/2006/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 concerning the Seventh Framework Programme of the European Community for research, technological development and demonstration activities ( ) 9 See for example the call for proposals on the cross-thematic initiative «the ocean of tomorrow» in 2009 and 2010: eu/research/agriculture/ocean/ocean2010/index_en.html 9

12 such diverse initiatives funded under FP7 for This analysis will consider FP7 as a whole 10, taking into account the activities of the 4 main specifi c programmes: COOPERATION (SP1) for large thematic collaborative research projects, IDEAS (SP2) for the support to excellent frontier research 11, PEOPLE (SP3) for the support to the training and career development of researchers and fi nally CAPACITIES (SP4) to foster the improvement of the research capacities and environment across Europe (i.e.: infrastructures, research for the benefi t of SMEs, international cooperation ). What do we consider as marine-related research proposals within this study? For practical purposes, the term marinerelated proposals will be used in this analysis to qualify all proposals when they have a marine (exploitation of the living and non living resources from the seas, including marine and fresh water aquaculture activities) or coastal nature (including estuaries), or when they are related to maritime activities or the marine environment. Proposals with potential applications for the maritime economy or which can contribute to the preservation of the marine environment have also been included. Therefore the degree of marine component can vary between proposals and is, to some extent, subject to interpretation. Some proposals are 100% marinerelated some are partially or even marginally related to the sea. This is part and parcel of the approach which aims to make all readers aware of the cross-cutting nature of marine sciences and technologies as well as of the variety of applications relevant to the maritime economy. 10 The Joint Research Centre and EURATOM specifi c programmes excluded 11 ERC grants aim to support frontier research, in other words the pursuit of questions at or beyond the frontiers of knowledge, without regard for established disciplinary boundaries: 10

13 Analysis and inventory of FP7 marine-related ed proposals posa Basic statistical information What did we find out? Submitted proposals The analysis of 109 calls for proposals over reveals that about 5% (1996 proposals) of all proposals submitted (41552), can be identifi ed as marine-related proposals or relevant to this analysis because they bear potential applications in the maritime sector. The approach of this analysis is very broad since one of the objectives is to raise the awareness of all interested parties on the variety of activities relevant to the oceans and seas either from an environmental or an economic perspective. Proposals selected for funding An estimated amount of 733 million has been dedicated to fund 345 marine-related proposals. It accounts for about 6.5% of the fi nancial contribution awarded by the European Union to all proposals selected within FP7 in and 5.6% in terms of the number of proposals. It should be borne in mind that the purpose of the statistical data presented here is to give a thorough overview of marine related projects within FP7, including projects which are indirectly linked to the marine environment or bear potential applications for the maritime economy. The EU contribution amount mentioned for proposals selected for funding is based on the sum of the EU contribution of individual proposals. In other words, even though only part of the EU contribution may directly relate to marine activities, the whole EU contribution of the proposal has always been taken into account. Therefore fi nancial information provided in this analysis does not refl ect the exact marine-related content of the project. All budget estimates are purely indicative and are mentioned only for information purposes. 12 The list of all calls analysed is available in annex 11

First analysis of participation indicates that the 345 proposals selected gather a total of 2894 participants from 77 countries around the world. Most active countries in terms of participation in those projects are the United Kingdom, Germany and France with participation in 420, 285 and 282 proposals respectively. Other most involved countries are Italy, Spain, Norway and the Netherlands with participation in 217, 189, 178 and 171 proposals respectively. Not surprisingly, these countries are also the most involved in assuming the responsibility of coordination of marine-related research proposals. Indeed, 86 coordinators come from the United Kingdom, 52 from France and 31 from Germany. It is worth mentioning that Spain, with 33 coordinators, is very well represented. For the other most involved countries, the breakdown is the following: 23 coordinators from Italy, 21 from Norway and 20 from the Netherlands. In total, coordinators of marine related proposals selected for funding come from 26 countries (including associated countries such as Norway, Switzerland and Israel). 12

17 Analysis and inventory of FP7 marine-related ed proposals posa This section (part I) gives a general overview about marine related proposals across all relevant specifi c programmes: COOPERATION (SP1), IDEAS (SP2), PEOPLE (SP3) and CAPACI- TIES (SP4). You will fi nd in part II the inventory of all marine-related proposals included in this study. Details on the methodology as well as the list of calls for proposals and the keywords used for the screening of proposals are presented in annex. 1. Number of calls including marine-related proposals ( ) The analysis reviewed 109 calls 13 closing before 31/12/2008 in the four specifi c programmes (EURATOM and JRC excluded). Figure n 1 shows the number of calls in which marine related proposals have been submitted over by specifi c programme. Number of calls including marine-related proposals ( ) Marine Not marine IDEAS PEOPLE CAPACITIES COOPERATION Figure n 1: Number of calls including marine-related proposals ( ) Among the 109 calls for proposals analysed, marine-related proposals have been submitted to 79 calls. COOPERATION is the specifi c programme with the greatest number of calls including such proposals. Indeed, 38 calls out of 53 or 72% of the COOPERATION specifi c programme received at least one proposal with a marine component or with potential applications for the maritime sector. 13 The list of all calls analysed is available in annex 15

18 2. Proposals submitted per Specific Programme ( ) The analysis reveals that about 5% of all proposals submitted to FP7 in can be identifi ed as marine-related proposals, i.e. with a more or less strong link with the marine environment or maritime activities, including potential applications in the maritime sector. Proposals have been mainly submitted to the COOPERATION programme (43%). Figure n 2 presents the breakdown between the 4 specifi c programmes.

Marine related proposals selected for funding within FP7 ( ) In total for 2007 and 2008, an estimated fi nancial contribution of 733 million has been awarded to 345 marine-related projects, corresponding to 5.6% of all proposals selected and 6.5% in terms of EC contribution over Figure n 3 shows that proposals have been mainly selected within the COOPERATION programme (43%) and the PEOPLE programme (40%). The scope of activities funded under the 4 specifi c programmes is very wide and is not always directly related to research per se. For example, under the PEOPLE specifi c programme, some actions relate to communication with the public at large such as the Researchers night initiative whose rationale is to bring researchers closer to the public. 14 It is also the case for cer- 14 See for example 2007UWM Researchers Night project 16

All these activities have been included within this study when they bear a marine dimension even though it may be limited.

20 The results refl ect at a glance, the specifi cities of the type of activities funded within FP7. It is especially noteworthy for COOPERATION, IDEAS and PEOPLE. Indeed, the fi nancial contribution awarded to COOPERATION proposals is high as they consist of collaborative research projects with a relatively high number of participants (11 participants in average 18 ). The fi nancial contribution awarded to ERC grants ( IDEAS ) is in comparison quite substantial given the fact that they involve investigator-driven independent research teams. At last, the fi nancial contribution awarded to PEOPLE activities is relatively small given the high number of proposals selected. This is logical when considering that the PEOPLE specifi c programme involves a large number of individual grants (International incoming fellowship, intra-european fellowship, international outgoing fellowship ) Summary The table below summarises these fi ndings across the 4 specifi c programmes.

21 Analysis and inventory of FP7 marine-related ed proposals posa 4. Findings per specific programme COOPERATION (SP1) With two-third of the budget (32,4 billion ), the COOPERATION specifi c programme is the core of FP7 and supports a whole range of research activities in 10 thematic areas corresponding to major fi elds of knowledge and technology where transnational cooperation can address major European challenges in the social, environmental or industrial fi eld. The following shortcuts will be used within this analysis to designate the 10 themes of the COOPERATION specifi c programme. 1. HEALTH: Theme 1 : Health 2. KBBE: Theme 2: Knowledge Based Bio-Economy (food, agriculture and fi sheries and biotechnology) 3. ICT: Theme 3: Information and Communication technologies 4. NMP: Theme 4: Nanosciences, nanotechnologies, Materials and new Production technologies 5. ENERGY: Theme 5 Energy 6. ENV: Theme 6 Environment (including climate change) 7. TPT: Theme 7 Transport 8. SSH: Theme 8 Socio-economic Sciences and Humanities 9. SEC: Theme 9 Security 10. SPA: Theme 10 Space For the purpose of this analysis, an additional category has been created: ERA-NET in order to better distinguish this type of activities related to the coordination of national research programmes from regular collaborative research projects. Over the 53 COOPERATION calls analysed, 149 marine-related proposals have been selected for funding in across the 10 thematic priorities. In terms of fi nancial contribution, it means that about 561 M have been awarded to proposals relating to the maritime sector. It accounts for about 6.7 % of all proposals selected within COOPERATION and 7% in terms of EU fi nancial contribution. With 149 proposals selected out of 862, the success rate of marinerelated proposals amounts to 17% which is close to the average success rate of proposals in this specifi c programme (18%) 19. Figure n 5 shows the breakdown of marine-related proposals selected for funding within COOPERATION and fi gure n 6 presents the fi nancial contribution awarded to these proposals per theme. 19 FP7 Subscription, Performance, Implementation during the first two years of operation : p.5: eu/research/reports/2009/pdf/fp7-1st-two-years-subscription-performance.pdf#view=fi t&pagemode=none 19

Most proposals are to be found within the transport theme, the KBBE, Environment (including climate change) and Energy themes. These four thematic priorities gather about 75% 20

23 Analysis and inventory of FP7 marine-related ed proposals posa (112 proposals) of all marine-related proposals selected for funding within COOPERATION and about 70% in terms of EU contribution (395 M ). Most marine-related proposals belong to the Transport theme with 46 projects focusing mainly on maritime transport (greening of transport, competitiveness, safety & security) but also on other aspects such as GALILEO. Within the KBBE theme, 28 proposals have been selected for funding mainly on fi sheries, aquaculture, (sea) food safety & quality as well as on marine biotechnologies. Twenty fi ve proposals have also been selected for funding within the Environment (including climate change) theme especially dealing with the management of marine ecosystems, with climate change, pollution as well as earth observation. A high number of proposals were also selected within the Energy theme since 13 proposals dealing mainly with renewable electricity generation (ocean and wind), energy effi ciency and renewables for heating and cooling have also been selected. In addition to these traditional areas, eleven proposals were selected within the Information and communications technologies (ICT) theme. They mainly address research in the fi eld of robotics and underwater technologies. The quite high number of proposals selected within the Security (9), and NMP (5) themes is worth noting. Within the Security theme, proposals selected address mainly research related to maritime security or sea-border surveillance while within Nanosciences, nanotechnologies, materials and new production technologies (NMP), they mostly deal with new materials and technologies for industrial applications 20. Seven proposals have also been selected within the Space theme for a signifi cant budget (50 M of EU fi nancial contribution), in order to develop the marine component of GMES (Global monitoring for Environment and Security). Three ERA-NET proposals related to marine sciences have been selected for funding. For the purpose of this analysis, they have been considered separately from the thematic priority they refer to. In practice, two ERA-NETs relate to KBBE in the fi eld of agricultural research in the Mediterranean region (ARIMNet) and in the fi eld of animal health (EMIDA) and one ERA-NET + to the Environment thematic priority (BONUS +).

24 IDEAS (SP2) The IDEAS 21 specifi c programme (7,5 billion over ) is a novelty of FP7. It addresses frontier research and is aimed at enhancing the dynamism, creativity and excellence of independent teams of researchers. Solely based on the criteria of scientifi c excellence, research projects may be carried out in any area of science & technology, including engineering, socioeconomic sciences and the humanities. Unlike the COOPERATION programme, there is no obligation for cross-border partnerships. Projects are implemented by independent teams around a principal investigator (PI) located in the European Union or Associated countries. The programme is implemented via the European Research Council 22 (ERC) and comprises two different schemes: ERC starting independent researcher grants ( ERC Starting Grants ) and ERC advanced investigator grants ( ERC Advanced Grants ). Starting grants 23 provide attractive support to the careers of excellent researchers who are at the stage of starting or consolidating their own independent research team or, depending on the fi eld, their independent research programme (2-10 years after PhD). Advanced grants 24 encourage and support excellent and innovative investigator-driven research projects initiated by leading advanced research leaders (at least 10 years of significant research achievements). The ERC has yearly calls for proposals covering all scientifi c fi elds: Life Sciences (LS), Social Sciences and Humanities (SH), and Physical Science and Engineering (PE). The evaluation involves at least 25 peer review panels covering all fi elds of science, engineering and scholarship. Over the fi ve calls for proposals analysed within the IDEAS specifi c programme, 14 marinerelated proposals have been selected for funding in both types of grants (Starting grants and Advanced grants). Four successful marine-related proposals have been selected for funding within the advanced grant scheme while 10 have been selected within the starting grant scheme. Although the proposals selected cover the three main scientifi c fi elds: Physical sciences and engineering (PE), Life sciences (LS) and Social sciences and Humanities (SH), the vast majority of proposals has been selected within the Physical sciences and engineering panel (10 proposals). An EU contribution of about 22 M have been earmarked to marinerelated proposals. It accounts for about 1.6% of all proposals selected within IDEAS and 1.8% in terms of EU contribution

Life-long training and career development ( PEOPLE 2 ) supports experienced researchers to acquire new skills or competences (i.e.: Marie-Curie Intra-European Fellowship scheme IEF, Marie-Curie Co-funding of Regional, National and International programmes COFUND) or to prepare their return to long-term employment after a mobility period (i.e. Marie-Curie European Reintegration Grant scheme ERG, Marie-Curie International Reintegration Grant scheme IRG). 26 Industry-academia pathways and partnerships ( PEOPLE 3 ) aims to stimulate inter-sectoral mobility and increase knowledge sharing through joint research partnerships between organisations from academia and industry, in particular SMEs (i.e. Industry Academia Pathways and Partnership scheme IAPP). 27 International dimension-world fellowships ( PEOPLE 4 ): activities supported under this heading contribute to the life-long training and career development of EU-researchers. It also aims to attract research talent from outside Europe and to foster collaboration with research actors at international level (i.e. International Research Staff Exchanges Scheme IRSES, 25 For details see on CORDIS: Marie Curie Initial Training Networks (ITN) 26 For details see on CORDIS: Marie Curie Intra-European Fellowships for Career Development (IEF) Marie Curie European Reintegration Grants (ERG) Marie Curie International Reintegration Grants (IRG) Marie Curie Co-funding of Regional, National, and International Programmes (COFUND) 27 Marie Curie Industry-Academia Partnerships and Pathways (IAPP) 23

(i.e.: Researchers Night 29 ). Over the 21 calls for proposals analysed within PEOPLE, 138 marine-related proposals have been selected for funding encompassing all activities but one ( COFUND ) of this specifi c programme. About 60 M have been awarded to marine-related proposals within PEOPLE by the European Union.

Grants dealing with life-long training and career development (i.e. PEOPLE 2) generated high interest. The Intra European fellowship scheme in particular is very popular with 53 marine-related proposals selected for funding. The European reintegration grants and the International reintegration grants with 15 proposals each are also well represented. Activities with an international dimension (i.e. PEOPLE 4) are also very popular with a total of 39 marine-related proposals selected for funding. For example, 23 marine-related proposals have been selected within the international outgoing fellowship scheme. These results are particularly interesting since they show what scientists regard as particularly relevant for their career development: acquisition of new competences and skills 28 Marie Curie International Outgoing Fellowships for Career Development (IOF) Marie Curie International Incoming Fellowships (IIF) Marie Curie International Research Staff Exchange Scheme (IRSES) 29 Researchers Night - NIGHT 24

Finally, activities focusing on the early stage career of researchers ( PEOPLE 1) were also quite successful since 11 marine-related initial training networks (ITN) were selected for funding. The results show that the 11 initial training networks proposals selected for funding concentrate over 2/3 of the EU contribution (37 M ). The relatively small amount allocated to the other activities is logical since they mainly cover individual grants (IEF, IOF, IIF, IRG, and ERG) or awards (Researchers nights). The keen interest in the PEOPLE programme is not surprising since it is a well-known and popular scheme which proved its success in FP6. Moreover it offers a great variety of opportunities through its bottom-up and fl exible approach. It is especially well fi tted to researchers working in such a diverse fi eld as marine related sciences and technologies. With a success rate of 28% over , the PEOPLE programme is the most successful programme for marine-related proposals within FP7.

It operates in 7 areas: Research Infrastructures (INFRA) 31 : developing world-class research infrastructures is one of the key initiatives and an essential element to the reinforcement of the European research area. This scheme supports different kinds of actions. First, it aims to upgrade and optimise the use and access to existing research infrastructures ( integrating activities ) but also to support the initiation phase (design studies and construction) of new research infrastructures

28 of pan-european interest 32. This heading also supports ICT-based infrastructures (computational systems, databases ). Research for the benefit of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SME) 33 : This initiative supports SMEs or SME associations in need of outsourcing research to research performers (i.e.: universities research centres). The Research for SMEs action (SME-1) targets mainly low to medium technology SMEs with little or no research capability. The Research for SME associations action (SME-2) targets associations which act on behalf of their SME members to identify and address common technical problems and to promote the effective dissemination and take-up of results. Regions of knowledge (REGIONS) 34 : this action aims to strengthen the research potential of European regions, in particular by encouraging and supporting the development, across Europe, of regional research-driven clusters, associating universities, research centres, enterprises and regional authorities. Research potential of Convergence Regions (REGPOT) 35 : This action supports the achievement of the full research potential of the enlarged European research area; it seeks to unlock the potential of research groups in the convergence and outermost regions of the EU. Science in society (SiS) 36 : The aim is to stimulate the harmonious integration of scientifi c and technological endeavour and associated research policies into European society. It encourages Europe-wide refl ection and debate on science and technology and their relation with society and culture. International cooperation (INCO) 37 : this initiative aims to implement horizontal support actions in the fi eld of international cooperation. It also aims to support the coordination of national policies and activities of EU Member States and Associated Countries on international S&T cooperation, bi-regional coordination of S&T cooperation as well as bilateral coordination for the enhancement and development of S&T. The specific programme CAPACITIES also funds Policy coherence activities under the Support to the coherent development of research policies heading. Among the 30 CAPACITIES calls analysed, 44 marine-related proposals have been selected within almost all activities (except for INCO International cooperation ) of this specifi c programme. An EU contribution of about 91 M have been awarded to marine-related proposals. It accounts for about 7,4% in terms of all proposals selected within this specifi c programme and 8% in terms of EU contribution. 32 within the framework of the European strategic forum for infrastructures (ESFRI) : index_en.cfm?pg=esfri

However, an honourable number of proposals have also been selected under less well-known activities. Five proposals have been selected within Science in Society (SIS), another two proposals have been selected for funding under the Research potential heading (REGPOT) as well as two under the Region for Knowledge (REGIONS) heading. In terms of scientifi c fi elds, a detailed analysis reveals that aquaculture and fi sheries, transport and energy are the most well represented sectors for SME projects. Indeed, 13 proposals out of 22 are related to aquaculture and fi sheries 38. Marine related proposals related to research infrastructures are mainly funded within the environmental and earth sciences fi eld (7) 39. ICT based infrastructures (3) 40 are also logically well represented. The variety of proposals selected for funding and the good proportion of marine-related ones within the CAPACITIES specifi c programme emphasises the cross-cutting nature of marine sciences. With 44 proposals selected out of 238, the success rate of marine-related proposals amounts to 19% which is slightly higher than the average success rate of proposals within this specifi c programme (18%) SETTLE, SALMOTRIP, OptiTEMPtank, SUDEVAB; ADAPOND, ENRICH, OptoCO2Fish, ShellPlant, PROSPAWN, ClosedFishCage, LobsterPlant, SENSBIOSYN, SMARTCATCH 39 MESOAQUA, EUROFLEETS, UP-GRADE BS-SCENE, EMSO, LIFEWATCH, EURO ARGO, AURORA BOREALIS 40 D4Science, D4Science-II, Geo-Seas 41 FP7 Subscription, Performance, Implementation during the first two years of operation : p.5: eu/research/reports/2009/pdf/fp7-1st-two-years-subscription-performance.pdf#view=fi t&pagemode=none 27

It also shed lights on the signifi cant discrepancies between countries in terms of participation to the individual specifi c programmes.

While the number of coordinators across specifi c programmes is quite balanced for the UK and France, it is not the case for Germany whose number of coordinators within PEOPLE (SP3) and especially CAPACITIES (SP4) is relatively low in comparison to IDEAS (SP2). The United Kingdom counts the highest number of coordinators in each specifi c programme for marine-related proposals. Eleven ERC grants out of 14 have been awarded to researchers coming from the seven countries presented here (UK: 4, DE: 3, FR: 2, ES: 1 NL: 1). The three other countries hosting principal investigators of marine-related ERC grants are Belgium, Switzerland and Israel. France ranks second for PEOPLE (SP3) with 22 coordinators just before Spain (21). France ranks also second for COOPERATION (SP1) with 21 coordinators and 3rd ex aequo with Italy for CAPACITIES (SP4). Norway ranks second for CAPACITIES with 9 coordinators. Germany ranks third for COOPERATION (SP1), 4 th for PEOPLE (SP3) with 12 coordinators and also 4 th within CAPACITIES with 2 coordinators, ex aequo with the Netherlands. 31

34 6. Conclusions The results of this fi rst study show that a considerable number of projects relating to the marine environment or with potential applications in the maritime sector are being funded across the 4 specifi c programmes of FP7, although the marine dimension in each project can vary. The scope 42 of activities and interested parties involved is very wide and marine-related projects are to be found in every part of and in every area supported by FP7: from grants to support the initial training of researchers on calcifi cation from marine organisms 43, to projects involving SMEs on ISO shipping container tracking 44. It also reveals that a whole spectrum of stakeholders from marine and maritime sectors researchers, marine biologists and geologists, science museums, business entrepreneurs, technologists, regional authorities are fruitfully working together on marine-related research projects using science and technology to fi nd ways to both mitigate natural and man-made pressures on the oceans while fostering sustainable development of economic activities. Seventy-seven countries from the EU and international partners are involved in these 345 marine-related proposals emphasising the very transnational nature of marine sciences and technology. The lack of a mechanism for effi cient and systematic identifi cation of marine-related proposals in FP7 databases is problematic since it favours duplication of efforts, prevents synergies from emerging and makes access to relevant information on marine-related research excessively time-consuming. With the compilation and analysis of data across FP7, this study is an attempt to address this issue and to help interested parties access information with a view to facilitating cross-fertilisation of knowledge between marine-related sectors and disciplines 45. Publication of a detailed analysis of marine-related proposals in each specifi c programme as well as the abstracts of all 345 projects will be available shortly on the web 46 to complete the full review of marine-related proposals for the fi rst two years of FP7. A yearly analysis of marine-related proposals across the 4 specifi c programmes of FP7 will follow this fi rst exercise. 42 See inventory of marine-related projects 43 CALMARO 44 ISOTRACK 45 The EurOcean portal for example has developed a database of marine-related projects funded by the different programmes of the EU:

59 Analysis and inventory of FP7 marine-related ed proposals posa 1. Methodology The methodology applied for identifying and analysing FP7 marine related proposals selected for funding across the four specifi c programmes for calls published in and closing before 31/12/2008 includes the following steps: 1.1. Extraction of data Information has been extracted from the RTD database Corda as of 15th May Only the projects in the main list have been considered to facilitate and improve the reliability of the data (projects in reserve lists are not considered). The EU contribution amount mentioned in this study for proposals selected for funding is based on the sum of the EU contribution of individual proposals. In other words, even though only part of the EU contribution may directly relate to marine activities, the whole EU contribution of the proposal has always been taken into account. Therefore financial information provided in this analysis does not reflect the actual marine-related content of the project. All budget estimates are purely indicative and are mentioned only for information purposes. When, for some reason (i.e: grant agreement not signed), there is no information on the CORDA database about the fi nal EU contribution, an extrapolation has been carried out on the basis either of the EC contribution requested by the project or the EU contribution recommended during the negotiation process Selection of calls for proposals The analysis has been carried out on the results of 109 calls having closed in 2007 and 2008 in the four 48 specifi c programmes: COOPERATION (53 calls), IDEAS (5 calls), PEOPLE (21 calls), CAPACITIES (30 calls). Only the calls closing before 31/12/2008 have been considered, no matter the year mentioned in the call identifi er 49. ERANETS calls falling under the COOPERATION (SP1) have been considered separately in order to distinguish them from the traditional thematic calls and identify them more clearly. Certain very specifi c calls have been excluded from the analysis such as calls regarding joint technology initiatives ( ARTEMIS IMI or JU ENIAC ) or certain article 169 initiatives such as AAL ). For the two-stage evaluation calls, only the fi rst stage has been considered for submitted proposals while only the fi nal results of the second stage have been considered for selected proposals. 47 The provisional data based on evaluation results are subject to modifi cation (see Disclaimer) 48 EURATOM calls have not been considered in this analysis 49 Indeed certain calls with «2009» in their call identifi er but closing in 2008 have been considered. See list of calls for details 57

60 1.3. Identification of marine related proposals Identifi cation of marine related proposals is based on screening of individual proposals (title and abstract) using a list of simple keywords. In this analysis, those proposals/projects have been considered as marine related when they have a marine (exploitation of the living and non living resources from the seas) or coastal nature (including estuaries), when they are related to maritime activities (transport, shipbuilding, naval operations, renewable energies, border security ). Proposals with an indirect link to the marine environment or maritime activities (materials, engineering, earth sciences, underwater technologies ) have also been included when they have potential applications for the maritime economy or when they can contribute to the preservation of the marine environment. Projects relating to aquaculture activities include freshwater and marine aquaculture, as well as all fi sh species when they are used as part of the food production cycle (including seafood, fi sh nutrition and fi sh as feed). The following issues have been excluded from the analysis: freshwater ecology and fi sh used as research model organism (Zebrafi sh and Medaka) Validation The validation of the lists of proposals submitted and selected for funding has been carried out through individual checking to make sure that the identifi cation done by the keywords was appropriate. When the marine or maritime component of a proposal was ambiguous, the opinion of the European Commission project offi cer in charge of the project prevailed for inclusion (or not) of the proposal into the analysis Classification of proposals per specific programme As far as possible, the marine-related proposals selected for funding have been classifi ed following the structure of each FP7 specifi c programme or: COOPERATION specific programme (SP1): Call deadline/call identifi er/thematic priority/activity/sub-activity 50 /area IDEAS specific programme (SP2): Call deadline/call identifi er/funding scheme: Starting grants (StG) or advanced grants (AdG)/ scientifi c panel classifi cation (Physical Sciences & Engineering- PE, Life Sciences -LS, Social Sciences & Humanities SH). 50 The Sub-activity category for the COOPERATION specifi c programme, depending of each thematic priority, can also be synonymous of area. 58
